Lately I’ve been helping at kindergarten recess and let me tell you, that’s one energetic pack of 88 kids. It is pretty fun but afterwards I go home and relish the absolute quiet. How in the world do teachers do this all day long?

I went to a little open house this morning at Charlie’s kindergarten and what did I see as I was wandering around? A sweet palm tree on the wall with all the smiling faces of the kids in the class. Everyone but Charlie was in a normal pose. I don’t know why this picture came as such a surprise to me, but I almost fell off my bike on the way home because I was laughing so hard.
